And cameras! Don’t replace 12mp 2x telephotos with 48mp 1x digital zoom cameras pls

This is kind of a strange article. Of course a court isn’t going to judge by someone’s character or good karma. If the judgement seems too high the blame should be on charging for someone else’s crime (deterrent sentences) and what is written as acceptable in the book

That website was really tempting… until I remembered that these run on AA batteries and don’t have gyro or a touchpad. M$ really selling an 85$ controller without the features of the 50$ ps5 controller

Edit: apparently dualsense are 75$ now?? Wtf. and apparently they’ve never been 50$? Just discard my comment

I see, I don’t consciously think about the map/level design when playing something so my opinion of doom comes from its mechanics and presentation, both of which are lacking in comparison to what indie boomer shooters have today.

find better examples of them (Bioshock

I don’t know if I played it wrong or something but I really didn’t like bioshock 1. It lasted like twice as long as it was fun and as time passed enemies just got spongier. Ammo is super scarce in the beginning and super common at the end. Shooting not very satisfying. The existence of the elemental gun. Bioshock 2 was much better imo

I meant it as “yes why did you ask?”

I don’t have strong feelings about level design. I think the levels I enjoyed the most were in other episodes. If this is about the keys I’m neutral about them, I like exploring everywhere anyways so I’d just collect them on the way. I don’t know what else to say

I feel the same way for smb. It has historical importance but it’s not up to the quality standards of today. I like the digital movement, feels better than the analogue stick in nwerer games

Yes?

Maybe they keep it fresh for people that already like it, but I haven’t seen anyone excited to play doom due to its mods

On the other hand, how is doom even on the list? This isn’t a ‘most influential games’ list. Surely the 10th best game in 2024 isn’t Doom 1993? Their scoring system (Quality 60%, Importance 15%, Hotness 15%, Playability 10%) makes sense to me, but how they assign those scores is baffling.

Take doom and doom eternal for example:
Doom 1993: Q 8.41 - I 9.99 - H 6.81 - P 6.81
Doom eternal: Q 8.00 - 7.45 - H 6.09 - P 8.45

How is cardboard enemies, simplest damage mechanics, story made of 2 still pictures and exposition text, and single axis camera control higher quality than any modern shooter? And in what universe could a 30 year old game be called hot??

That’s much better. Op turns into soup in the laser*(edit: damn autocorrect) scene

Did YouTube decrease the bitrate again?

They say that they don’t have a minimum speed requirement and the speedtest result doesn’t affect your application. Also considering that they specify that you choose the node geographically closest to you (instead of the lowest latency one) and the only other information in the test is latency, it does sound like they’re either looking for vpns or your location.

IP is quite unreliable when it comes to geolocation, especially if you have a dynamic ip

Their speedtest requirement also seems to be about geolocating you.

Edit: Also would anyone explain why they prefer mp3 to aac and don’t even mention ogg? And what’s the point of uploading both cbr and vbr mp3s? Isn’t it ogg>aac>mp3 vbr>mp3 cbr quality wise?

It’s using ai image recognition and I doubt it’s the world’s first to do so.

How is the link file executing malware? Can you put any shell script as the target?

… an html file that loads a video from the api servers. They’re still hosting the videos, no?

Wait so this is an api to… Build piracy streaming websites?? And they claim they’re immune to dmca? Why not just make their own website?

Palwold dev talks too much

“Can’t live without” is an overstatement, but here are mine:

• Kvaesitso, search focused android launcher. I used to really like nova launcher’s local search and navigated my phone mostly using that. But once gensture navigation became a thing I had to stop using nova and replicate the experience in Samsung launcher with various local search apps that were lacking in comparison. Tried to go back a couple times once gestures with 3rd party launchers got better but found my old setup still too ugly and sluggish to go back to. Recently I randomly came across Kvaesitso on fdroid and it was everything I ever wanted out of a launcher.

• Amberol music player. Not the ideal music player I’d like but at least it’s not Elisa.

• Kid3, audio file tag editor. It has much better workflow/automation than mp3tag that I used in windows, and it seems if you spend some effort on it you could add more automation to make it even better.

Looks better than I expected
